I used to have the Shunyata Hydra and indeed was limiting the dynamics. I tried the Niagra 3000 and noticed a difference immediately, I was able to trade the Shunyata and pay the additional cost of the Niagra.
Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics?
Hi, I have a Belles 150A Reference amp driving Vandersteen 2E sig speakers, which I don't play loud at all. I currently have everything else plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 6, but felt it limited the amp's dynamics, so it's plugged directly into the dedicated line outlet. Would an Audioquest Niagra 1200 do better?
